As the story turns……..

Chapter 10: Dreams

She walked the fields of the Earth. Her Princess had wondered down here once again to see her Prince. Though the Moon was in charge of keeping the peace within this galaxy, tensions had been high between the humans and those of the Moon Kingdom. It was not safe for Serenity to be wandering here on her own, especially to meet a Prince of Earth.

Venus kept a close eye on her surroundings. As the head of the guardians that protected Serenity, her senses were always on high alert. Many considered her to be rash, and a bit childish, but when it came to the protection of the heir to the Moon, Venus never faltered.

She finally came to a clearing. She looked through the trees and saw the Prince and Princess locked in each other's arms, staring up at the starry sky. They really were a beautiful couple, and if circumstances had been different, her mother wouldn't be so worried.

The truth of the matter is, there is a rumor that a great evil has been unleashed throughout the Earth. This evil has corrupted many minds of the humans, and they grew jealous of the longevity of the Lunarian's life. The people of Earth wanted to rule this galaxy, but in wanting this, they show their ignorance.

Earth is a very young planet, and in time they will grow to greatness. As with every planet and every life form, time is what makes them wiser.

As Venus continued to study the forbidden couple, she couldn't help but smirk at them. She did not believe the Prince to be evil, in fact, using her senses as the Goddess of Love, she could easily see that he was in love with her. She didn't want to break up such a beautiful moment, so she decided to just watch from the distance.

"They're really made for each other, aren't they?"

Prepared to launch an attack, Venus turned quickly. What she wasn't prepared for was the beautiful eyes that would clash with hers. He was tall and very handsome with white-blonde hair. She actually blushed a little as she continued to study the man, but her defense stance never let up.

He held up his hands in a manner that asked her not to attack. "I'm not an enemy. My name is Kunzite, and I am the lead guardian of Prince Endymion."

Venus blinked rapidly, but she gave no reply to the man. He smiled at her and asked, "And…you are?"

This knocked Venus' mind back on track. She blushed even deeper as she relaxed her stance. "I'm Venus."

A girl in a beautiful golden gown stood off to the side of the room. The ball was a complete success, as always. Everyone looked happy as ever, but this girl looked bored.

It was the same thing all the time. No matter how beautiful everything was, the girl could not help but feel that it was just a repeat of the last ball. She knew that Serenity felt the same way, and she usually was sulking with her (as long as her mother didn't make her play host), but tonight she was in the arms of a handsome man wearing a mask.

The mask couldn't fool her though. She knew very well that it was Prince Endymion. She sighed deeply to herself. She guessed that for one night she could let the Princess enjoy the ball, but she definitely owed her. Sulking alone was no fun at all. She looked across the room and her eyes settled on a very familiar man. His eyes were covered by a mask as well, but there was no denying that gorgeous hair.

He looked her way and it seemed he locked eyes with her. The girl turned away and blushed profusely. She didn't understand why her insides flipped when she saw this man. Normally, she was the largest flirt in the kingdom, but this was different.

She looked back towards him and noticed him making his way towards her. She couldn't take her eyes off him as he reached out his hand. She let her hand slip into his as he led her out on the dance floor. His hand rested on her back, and it felt as if it were on fire.

"You look very beautiful tonight." He said in his musical voice.

"Thank you." She said softly as she continued to stare at the mask that covered his eyes.

Silence came between them as they moved gracefully across the floor. It was as if they were made to dance with each other. Everything felt so right, and before she knew it, Venus was laying her head on Kunzite's chest. The song ended too soon, and instead of dancing to the next, Kunzite led the warrior to the gardens just outside.

"Everything is so much quieter here then it is on Earth." Kunzite stated.

"What do you mean?" Venus asked confused.

"The wind, it doesn't blow. There are no birds, no insects, no life." He responded.

Venus nodded her head at his realization. "While the Moon is a very beautiful place, Earth is so young and full of life. I think this is what initially attracted Serenity to it. You see, we have trees and grass and flowers, but they weren't considered to be 'real' by her. She would wonder down to Earth just to walk in the meadows."

"And that is when she discovered my Prince. I need to thank her one day."

Venus looked up at the man's face and asked, "Why?"

"Because, if she had not come to Earth, than you wouldn't have either." His face showed deep sincerity as Venus quickly turned from facing him. She felt as if she were shaking all over, and her heart felt like it was going to explode. She enjoyed every minute of it.

Kunzite placed his hand underneath her chin and forced her to look at him. Once again, her eyes came into contact with the mask. She reached up ever so slightly and took it off. "Please." She said quietly. "Don't hide these ever again."

Kunzite grabbed the mask and tossed it aside before he bent down to mold his warm lips against hers.

"We shouldn't have allowed ourselves to be in this position." Venus said lightly as she curled up against Kunzite's naked side.

Kunzite didn't respond to her statement, so she asked, "Why is it that Earth hates us so?"

Kunzite looked down at the goddess and said, "It's because they don't understand." He pulled her closer to him and gave her a small kiss on the forehead.

"How long are we going to pretend that this is going to work?" Venus asked, pushing a little against his chest.

He remained silent for a moment before he pulled her even tighter. "As long as we believe it will. We have to believe that things will get better; that we will find peace between us, and maybe one day we won't have to hide anymore."

"It isn't right. Us. You are a protector of the Prince of Earth, and I the guardian of the Princess of the Moon. Everything is against us. We have every reason not to believe this will work." Venus argued. It wasn't like she wanted him to leave, she was just so afraid of losing him.

"There is one reason, at least for me, for us to believe, and it is stronger than any other reason that can come against us."

"And what is that?"

"I love you." He said as he looked deeply into her eyes. Venus began to shake once again as her blush reappeared. Did she hear him right? She was certain she had. She began to smile and cry at the same time.

"I love you too." She whispered.

"We're under attack!" Someone screamed. Finally, the evil forces from Earth had reared its ugly head. The Senshi of the Moon gathered together to fight against the armies that had formed and every person that could fight was fighting, but it wasn't enough.

The attack came as a surprise. They had no warning, and the enemy was extremely strong. They had warriors prepared for a large war, while the Moon had nothing.

As the Senshi fought, Venus kept her eyes out for a certain blonde male. She cut through the warriors as fast as she could, but her power was quickly fading. She knew she would die in this battle trying to protect this kingdom. All she wanted was to see him one last time.

Finally, his hair flashed before her. As her eyes focused on him, they widened considerably. He was dressed as one of them. As an enemy. His eyes found her, but when they looked at her his face didn't change. It was as if he no longer cared for her.

Venus couldn't help it. Tears began to stream down her face. "Kunzite!" She cried out. "Why? I thought you wanted peace?"

A smirk lit up on his face. "Peace? I do want peace just so long as our Queen, Queen Beryl, is ruler of the galaxy! Those who stand for the Moon must die in order for that to happen."

"What?" She couldn't believe what she was hearing. "What about me? What about everything we have been through? All that we have declared to each other?"

He began to laugh. "You actually thought that was real?" He cackled out even more. "I just used you as a way to monitor the Princess and the Moon Kingdom. See how we attacked at the perfect time?"

Venus shook her head violently. "I'll never believe it!" She cried out. "I know you love me! Something has happened to you! What has happened?!?" But his answer never came. The large shadow that was being controlled by Beryl descended upon the Senshi. Even with all of their powers together, they were not strong enough to defeat it. The being blasted them with full force, effectively killing them all.

Venus' last thought was she hoped that Kunzite would be freed from whatever spell he was under. She prayed that his heart would not be damned to hell.

Mina shot up in bed. She looked around at the girls in her dorm, and they were all fast asleep. She looked at the clock and saw that it was five in the morning. She laid back down slowly as she reached up to touch her cheeks. They were wet from her tears.

The dream had been so real. It was the same dream that has been haunting her almost every night since she regained her memories.

She thought of when they were revived the first time in Japan. She thought of the first time she saw Kunzite again. That same vacant look was on his face, and she knew that he had been reborn as the enemy.

Many times she tried to trigger his memory, but the attempts were futile. She never told any of her Senshi about their love affair. For some reason, she just couldn't. She knew that her love affair with Kunzite proved that she was irresponsible to be a guardian of the Princess, but she couldn't help what her heart wanted.

Last night, she had come face to face with him again. She couldn't hide again, she had to call out to him. She saw the confusion in Usagi's eyes, and she knew that questions would soon come her way, but she didn't care. Out of everyone, she knew Usagi would be the most understanding. After all, she had fallen in love with Endymion.

"Kunzite." She called out in the darkness. "This time, I will not lose you to Beryl."

There's another chapter! I do hope everyone enjoyed it. I thought it was very important to give these two a history. Next story to update is War of the Titans! Don't forget to PLEASE REVIEW!!!
